“I'm a big believer in education, period.”
“And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.”
“I was a teacher for a long time. I taught at a community college: voice, theory, humanities. And nowadays, music education is a dying thing. Funding is being cut more and more and more.”
“Having a college degree gave me the opportunity to be... well-rounded. Also, the people I met at the university, most of them are still my colleagues now. People I've known for years are all in the industry together.”
“It happened in Miami, in Coral Gables, a great big ol' Cuban wedding. It was pretty intense.”
